[25^^ October 1955] turned onto the Lake Highway. Then the 
weather turned against us, teeming rainstorms 
with only brief intervals between, We 
climbed rapidly onto the plateau where 
the rain turned to driving snow. We 
had morning tea at Breona during a 
brief interval from snowing, but 
virtually the visibility was nil which 
was a great pity with such good 
scenery around us. A last fill of 
petrol at Bronte and so to Lake 
St Clair where it has, since we 
arrived at 2.0 pm, been raining, hailing 
or, as it is now, snowing heavily. But 
there is no wind, and it is very peaceful 
and private and we are both very 
happy. The wallabies (many with young) 
and pademelons are extremely tame and 
I have photos of them being fed by 
Joan. They are a delight and 
have thrilled Joan so much that they 
have made this part of the trip quite worthwhile.
